Creamy Stovetop Mac & Cheese

I got this delicious recipe from a blog called Annie's Eats. Great blog!

Creamy Stovetop Mac and Cheese


Ingredients:
12 oz. dried pasta (your preferred shape) (I used whole wheat pasta)
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup shallot, finely minced (I forgot to buy shallots so I omitted them)
8 oz. gouda, shredded
2 oz. freshly grated Parmesan
¼ cup milk, half and half, or heavy cream
4 oz. low-fat Greek yogurt
3 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions just until al dente. Drain well, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.

Immediately return the pasta to the pot. Add the garlic, shallot, and cheeses and stir briefly to combine. Mix in the milk, Greek yogurt, and butter and stir until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the mixture is creamy. If necessary add a small amount of the reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency (I ended up adding about 1/4 cup back in). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
